Her
experience in teaching covers a wide
spectrum of academic fields in English
language and literature, Shakespeare,
poetry analysis, communication classes and
memory association techniques. In
addition, she tutors for more specific
exams such as TOEFL, SAT, and the KPDS.
For seven years she taught TOK (Theory and
knowledge). Over the past years she has
become a university and language school
adviser, sending many Turkish students to
universities in the USA and Europe that
now enjoy successful careers. Two of her
students have now returned from Princeton,
the Ivy league university in the United
States. Working for the famous and
intellectual higher society of Istanbul
has given her a wealth of experience. The
families and professionals that she has
worked for have become friends as well as
respected colleagues. Being able to
converse in Turkish has also given her a
deeper and meaningful insight into Turkish
culture.
In
February 2009 she relocated to Kusadasi
where she taught at the private Naci
Akdogan College for two terms.
Peri Tan continues to write for various
magazines abroad and occasionally works
for Pigment Productions the greeting card

years she has been working with music
producers; writing lyrics for songs for
the artist, Simon Astley in Australia who
has also released three music cd’s in
the UK.
After meeting a group of rather special
dolphins with their specialized trainer
‘Alex’ at Adalands dolphin park she
contributes a regular column for the
Turkey Herald and the Kusadasi Times to
create awareness for this magical and
beautiful species and the environment.
After nearly 13 years of teaching she has
now decided to open ‘Trinity’ with
Steve Screeton and Linda which is a
group of companies dedicated to serving
both tourism in Kusadasi and full time ‘Kusadasians.’
